ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative widespread pain and chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:Two hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients with knee osteoarthritis, aged 40-70 yr, undergoing elective the first unilateral primary TKA under general anesthesia, were enrolled.The widespread pain index, visual analogue scale score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Central Sensitization Inventory scores were recorded at 1 day before surgery.The patients were divided into CPSP-positive group and CPSP-negative group according to visual analogue scale score at 6 months after surgery.Risk factors for CPSP were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The results of logistic regression analysis showed that increased preoperative widespread pain index score, Central Sensitization Inventory score and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score and female were risk factors for CPSP after TKA.Conclusions:Preoperative widespread pain is a risk factor for CPSP following TKA in the patients with knee osteoarthritis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of secondary pulmonary hypertension(SPH)on postoperative outcomes of lung transplant recipients.Methods:The hospitalization data of 309 patients undergoing lung transplant were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into normal(mPAP <25 mmHg, 56 cases), low-pressure(mPAP: 25 mmHg≤mPAP<40 mmHg, 155 cases)and high pressure(mPAP ≥40 mmHg, 98 cases)groups.Three groups were compared with regards to general profiles, intraoperative status, postoperative outcomes and survival rates. The postoperative patient survival was plotted by Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test performed. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of postoperative survival.Results:The distribution of chronic lung disease(CLD)was statistically different among 3 groups( χ2=30.837, P=0.001). Patients with different levels of pulmonary artery pressure had different decisions supported intraoperatively by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)( χ2=28.205, P<0.001). The 2-year survival rates of normal, low-pressure and high-pressure groups were 58.9 %, 63.9 % and 69.4 % respectively and there were no statistically significant differences( P=0.513). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that preoperative cardiac function was an independent risk factor for postoperative survival. The postoperative risk of mortality was 1.796 (95 %CI: 1.078~2.991)folds higher in patients with cardiac function grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ than those with grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ( P=0.025). Conclusions:Preoperative classification of cardiac function should be emphasized in SPH patients. And surgery during early decompensated stage of cardiac function may confer a better survival.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of donor dexmedetomidine preconditioning on the renal function of patients undergoing living-related kidney transplantation.Methods:Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients, regardless of gender, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, undergoing living-related kidney transplantation, were selected.Sixty corresponding donors, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, regardless of gender, aged 20-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, were selected.The patients and donors were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method: control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D), with 30 pairs in each group.Before induction of anesthesia, dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused over 10 min in a loading dose of 1 μg/kg followed by an intravenous infusion of 0.5 μg·kg -1·h -1 until the time point when the renal artery was blocked immediately in the donors of group D, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead until the time point when the renal artery was blocked immediately in the donors of group C. In both groups, total intravenous anesthesia was applied in donors and recipients, Nacotrend values were maintained at 40-60 during operation, mean arterial pressure and heart rate were maintained within the normal range, and dopamine was intravenously infused when necessary.The warm ischemia time and cold ischemia time of donor kidneys were recorded in the two groups.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the donors immediately before renal artery occlusion and from the recipients before renal artery opening (T 0) and at 1, 12 and 24 h after renal artery opening (T 1-3) to determine the serum creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) and cysteine protease inhibitor C (CysC) concentrations.The intraoperative volume of fluid infused, urine volume and consumption of propofol, remifentanil and dopamine were recorded in the receptors of two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the concentrations of Cr, BUN and CysC and warm ischemia time and cold ischemia time of kidneys in between the two groups of donors ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the consumption of propofol, remifentanil and dopamine, volume of fluid infused and urine volume during surgery between the two groups of recipients ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the concentrations of Cr, BUN and CysC were significantly decreased in at T 1 in group D ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Donor dexmedetomidine preconditioning is helpful in improving the perioperative renal function of patients undergoing living-related kidney transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of parecoxib sodium on phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages in a mouse model of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI).Methods:Forty-five SPF healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice, weighing 22-30 g, aged 8-12 weeks, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), VALI group (V group) and parecoxib sodium group (P group). Lipopolysaccharide 20 ng was intraperitoneally injected, and 2 h later the animals were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume 30 ml/kg, respiratory rate 70 breaths/min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 1∶2, fraction of inspired oxygen 21%, positive end-expiratory pressure 0) for 4 h to establish the model of VALI.Parecoxib sodium 30 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 1 h prior to mechanical ventilation in group P. The mice were sacrificed at 4 h of ventilation, the right lung was lavaged and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1(Arg-1) in BALF and expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 (p-JAK2) and phosphorylated signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (p-STAT-3) (by Western blot). The left lung was removed for determination of the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for examination of the pathological changes which were scored. Results:Compared with group S, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in BALF, and expression of iNOS, Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased in V and P groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group V, the concentration of IL-10 in BALF and expression of Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased, and the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF and expression of iNOS were decreased in group P ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Parecoxib sodium promotes phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages from M1 subtype to M2 subtype and inhibits inflammatory responses, thus alleviating VALI, which may be related to activating JAK2/STAT-3 signaling pathway in mice.

Objective To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy on postoperative rehabili-tation in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 60-75 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physieal status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective lumbar surgery in the prone position under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and goal-directed fluid therapy group (group G).The CNAP system was used to monitor stroke volume variation and cardiac index continuously in group G.Mean arterial pressure was maintained at 60-110 mmHg,central venous pressure at 6-12 emH2O and urine volume more than 0.5 ml · kg-1 · h 1 using conventional fluid therapy in group C.In group G,goal-directed fluid therapy was performed under the guidance of stroke volume variation,and cardiac index was maintained at 2.5-4.0 L · min-1 · m 2.The requirement for crystalloid and colloid solution,total volume of fluid infu sed,blood loss,urine volume and requirement for vasoaetive agents were recorded during operation.After anesthesia induction,at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,blood samples were collected fromn the left radial artery for blood gas analysis,and the blood lactate concentration was recorded.The volume of drainage within 3 dlays after operation,perioperative blood transfusion,early postoperative cardiovascular and pulmonary complications,development of oliguria and anuria,emergence time and length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the requirement for crystalloid solution,total volume of fluid infused,urine volume and requirement for vasoactive agents were significantly decreased during operation,the requirement for colloid solution was increased during operation,the blood lactate concentration was decreased at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,the length of hospital stay was shortened,and the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular and pulnonary eomplications was decreased in group G (P＜0.05).Conclusion Goal-directed fluid therapy can promote postoperative rehabilitation and shows a certain clinical value in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effects of creatine phosphate pretreatment on circulato ry function in prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.Methods Forty patients in ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ of male and female,aged 60 to 75 years undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in prone position,were randomly divided into two groups (n =20 each):the control group (gToup N) and the creatine phosphate group (group P).In the group P,creatine phosphate sodium (30 mg·kg-1 in 50 mL normal saline) was continuous infused at a speed of 100 mL· h-1,while only normal saline 50 mL in the group N at the same time.HR,MAP,CO,SV,CVP,Pulse Pressure Variation (PVV) and Systemic Circulation Resistance (SVR) were monitored and recorded at 1 min before prone position (T0) and 1 min (T1),3 min (T2),5 min (T3),10 min (T4) after prone position.The requirement for vasoactive agents were also recorded.Results Compared with T0,HR began to increase significantly at T1 in the group N(P ＜ 0.05),while MAP,CO and SV began to decrease at T1 to T3,and CVP,PVV and SVR began to increase significantly at the same time in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the group N,MAP,CO and SV were decreased,PPV,CVP and SVR were increased significantly at T1 to T2 in the group P (P ＜ 0.05).The requirement for vasoactive agents in the group P was obviously lower than that in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Creatine phosphate pretreatment can stabilize the hemodynamic change effectively,and prevent the adverse cardiovascular events caused by prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of methylprednisolone on lung function and inflammation during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy.Methods Sixty patients (46 males, 10 females, aged 18-60 years, ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ) scheduled for pulmonary lobectomy were randomly divided into two groups (n=30 each) using a random number table: the control group (group C) and the methylprednisolone group (group M).Patients in group M were treated with methylprednisolone before induction of anesthesia within 30 min, whereas patients in group G received equal volume of normal saline at the same time.The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plateau airway pressure (Pplat), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were recorded at the momment before OLV (T1), 30 min after OLV (T2), 1 h after OLV (T3), 10 min after resuming two-lung ventilation (T4) and the end of the surgery (T5).The arterial blood gas analysis were performed at the above time points in order to determined the oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) and carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2), then the oxygenation index (OI), alveolar to arterial difference of oxygen tension (A-aDO2) and respiratory index (RI) of each patient was evaluated.The concentration of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 were determined by ELISA at T0, T4, 6 h (T5) and 24 h (T6) after surgery using venous blood samples.The incidence of pulmonary complications at 72 h after operation were also recorded.Results Compared with T0, the MAP and Cdyn was decreased, whereas the Ppeak and Pplat was increased significantly in both group at T1, T2 (P＜0.05), the OI was decreased and the A-aDO2, RI was increased significantly at T1-T4 (P＜0.05), and the concentration of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 at T4-T6 was increased significantly in both group (P＜0.05).Compared with group C, the Cdyn was increased, the Ppeak and Pplat were decreased significantly in group G at T1, T2 (P＜0.05), the concentration of serum TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased, and IL-10 was increased significantly in group G at T4-T6 (P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications had no statistically signifcant differences between the two groups.Conclusion Methylprednisolone can significantly improve the pneumodynamics and lung compliance, alleviates the inflammatory responses, but have no significant effect on intrapulmonary oxygenation and gas exchange during one-lung ventilationin patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of flurbiprofen axetil administered at different time points on oxygenation in the patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Ninety patients of both sexes,aged 45-64 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective thoracoscope-assisted pulmonary lobectomy,were assigned into 3 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),preoperative administration group (group F1) and intraoperative administration group (group F2).Flurbiprofen axetil (10 mg/ml) and fat emulsion 10 ml were injected intravenously at 15 min before operation in F1 and C groups,respectively.Flurbiprofen axetil 10 ml was intravenously injected immediately after the beginning of OLV in group F2.At 15 min before operation (T1),15 and 30 min of OLV (T2,3),and 15 min after restoration of two-lung ventilation (T4),airway peak pressure (Ppeak) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were recorded,arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis.The arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) was recorded,and the oxygenation index (OI) and intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) were calculated.The concentrations of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-K-PGF1α) in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was calculated.The development of interrupting OLV due to SpO2＜90％ and postoperative dyspnea,pulmonary infection,atelectasis and length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,PaO2 and OI were significantly increased,and Qs/Qt was decreased at T2,3,the serum concentrations of TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1α were decreased,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was increased at T2-4,the incidence of interrupting OLV was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group F2 (P＞0.05).Compared with group F1,PaO2 and OI were significantly decreased at T2,3,Qs/Qt was increased at T2,and the serum concentrations of TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1α were increased,and TXB2/6-K-PGF1α ratio was decreased at T2-4 in group F2 (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative dyspnea,pulmonary infection and atelectasis and length of hospital stay between the three groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Flurbiprofen axetil injected at 15 min before operation can significantly improve oxygenation and prevent the development of hyoxemia in the patients undergoing OLV,however,flurbiprofen axetil administered immediately after the beginning of OLV has no such effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the hemodynamic change and stress reaction of target-con-trolled infusion (TCI)of propofol guided by Narcotrend for anesthetic induction in renal transplanta-tion patients.Methods Forty patients (25 males,1 5 females,aged 21-38 years,ASA grade Ⅲ orⅣ)undergoing related living donor kidney transplantation were randomly divided into two groups:group A and group B (n =20).Group A was induced using TCI system with propofol under the moni-toring of Narcotrend.Group B was induced with propofol manually.HR,MAP,Narcotrend index (NTI),blood glucose (Glu)and plasma cortisol (Cor)were measured before induction (T0 ),before tracheal intubation (T1 ),and 1 (T2 ),3 (T3 ),and 5 (T4 )minutes afterwards.Results HR and MAP at T1 were lower than those at T0 (P < 0.05 )in two groups,they were significantly lower in group B than in group A at corresponding points(P <0.05).HR and MAP in group B increased sig-nificantly (P <0.05)and were significantly higher than those in group A (P <0.05)at T2 and T3 . There was no obvious difference in Glu and Cor between T0 and T2-T4 in group A.Glu and Cor at T2-T4 were obviously higher than those at T0 (P <0.05)in group B and those at corresponding points in group A (P <0.05).Conclusion TCI of propofol guided by Narcotrend in renal transplantation pa-tients can better control the depth of anesthesia,attenuate the stress reaction caused by tracheal intu-bation,and keep hemodynamic smooth during anesthesia induction.
